Charlotte joined TACC in 2014, bringing with her extensive experience in the nonprofit and education sectors. For over a decade, she worked at Parsons School of Design in New York City, where she founded and implemented the Parsons Scholars Program, a citywide college access program that activated a pathway to educational and economic opportunity for underrepresented youth motivated by an interest in design; the program was endowed through a major gift from the estate of the painter Jacob Lawrence. At Parsons, Charlotte also served on the faculty and held a series of leadership positions, most recently serving as the Director of the Office of Summer, Pre-Enrollment, and Special Programs and other Open Campus initiatives. After leaving Parsons, Charlotte founded her own firm consulting universities and nonprofit organizations to enhance programs and develop grants that address equity and access and facilitate growth and revenue; she holds particular expertise in summer and out-of-school programs, pre-professional training, and pathways to careers.

Charlotte holds an undergraduate degree in Architecture from Columbia University and a graduate degree in Urban Education Policy from the City University of New York Graduate Center. Her research interests include the development of career pathways in formal and informal educational settings.
